I wasn't going to share this rare find but, I feel it needs to be observed for scientific purposes.

The ever elusive dorsal fin of the Rare Brown Eyed Tuna

If you are not quick, it will disappear in the blink of its brown eye!!!

Little known fact*****The eye has the ability to change color like a chameleon from brown to pink with brown being its primary color.

Woo.


Okay. Hey! the water has been really, really nice lately! It's warming and pretty blue. There's been a few floaties, but it's been 70' viz or so, maybe better in some spots. On Thursday we went out to Black Condo and Lynn's. There was a teeny south current on BC and a teeny North current on Lynn's. Water temps must have been around 74-75.

I made a very slow approach to this gorgonian, and was able to get within 2' without startling it.

An adolescent French angel on BC.

We found this hawksbill turtle having a little brunch up on Lynn's.

I was in the water yesterday as well, but it wasn't a situation where I could have taken my camera. Anyway, the water was still good, slight north current.

Eeeek! The warm, blue water is gone. There was a significant thermocline and viz was kinda crappy. We had a double secret Michigan contingency diving with us this afternoon. One new diver and two returning from a lengthy periods of not diving. I was actually quite impressed with there diving. I would put water temps in the cold layer at about 20.6ºC (69ºF) or so, and about 23.9ºC (75ºF) in the warm layer. Viz was about 12m (40') in the cold layer and about 6m (20') in the warm layer. On top of that, the sun spent alot of time behind the clouds during the afternoon trip, which was the only time I could take pictures. It was pretty dark, and the pictures are kinda crappy, but I'll post a couple so that there is some indication of what the water was like.

The warm water was very cloudy, and green.

The cold water was more clear, but still, not so great.
